Liana tiktoker

Posted in Current Events by

I knew it would be too good to be true for someone to build up their followers in an organic manner especially when you’ve just started a social media account. Parading a very hip lifestyle with all the expensive cars and jewellery. It all seems too easy for ‘founder’s to become rich. Does Malaysia have that many millionaires living among us? Just by selling products. And where are these products sold?

A few months ago, a name came up quite often on my FB feed about a Liana on TikTok. She allegedly breached her contract as a talent in a company that manages influencers! I mean we used to have something like Nuffnang that manages bloggers. Now there’s a new social media occupation in town – Influencers!

These companies would pull out all the stops to raise a star. It includes paying for their lavish lifestyle worthy of content on various social media platforms. It was a WOW moment to note that they can A LOT OF MONEY for each talent in the hope of getting a reciprocal income from such exposure. It makes sense that once an influencer is well known (+ number of followers), more businesses will seek them to endorse products or become an ambassador. Companies even have influencer rates if they decide to engage in one. The Gen Z’s pretty smart. Making money from this. Kinda cool. I wonder if I could ever reach that level if I have kept up with my blog since medical school. Ha ha ha.

However, looking at the trend of Malaysian influencers, I don’t think my personality fits in the scene cause they are LOUD. You have to show a lot of things and be really open with your life. At the expense of privacy but then that is what social media is, right? You need to decide and control what you choose to upload online.

I don’t really know what was the ending for Liana’s case but I bet more prospects are now searching for that talent agency.

The Long Weekend – from Tambun and Cameron Highlands with love

Posted in Leisure & Travel, Places to Eat by

Melaka had a 3 day holiday and so we took the opportunity to bring our kids to both Tambun and Cameron Highlands. As parents I think we were both equally, physically exhausted. BUT EMOTIONALLY ELATED. Ee had fun and I’m sure Ninie enjoyed the new environment stimulus.

Started the morning with McCafe. YUM

It was not easy travelling with a baby and a 7 year old. Thankfully Ee is not the type who would throw a tantrum in public. He is a silent protester though – like tak nak makan, tak nak participate, tak nak tu.. tak nak ni. All this done with his head hung low and melepek takde mood kinda face. Still manage to pisses me off sometimes.

At Tambun, Mr Husband insisted on carrying Ninie in the body carrier padahal dah bwk stroller. Dahlah panas, pastu penat. Subsequently he doesn’t have the mood to play in the water. Hence Ee too doesn’t feel like playing in the water. Prior to this, we had always arrive at Tambun by 10am – only this time we were a bit late. This is our 3rd visit to Tambun. Maka matahari dah naik, orang dah ramai – in conclusion, tak berapa best when its only you and the kids. Especially the meragam puteri lilin baby.

BUT do not get me wrong – TAMBUn is a fun place. We would still go but perhaps with better planning. It has a water park, a fun fair like area, mini rollercoaster, haunted house, petting zoo, lake activities, a spa, adventure parks with glamping sites and many more! All this for less than RM100 per entry for an adult with MYKID. We bought our tickets online and got our tickets for less than RM60. Kids less than 90cm gets to enter the park for free. Nice kan?

Cameron Highlands was physically exhausting as well. Nak sujud peha sakit. We went to the Brinchang Tea Plantation and of course our favourite Kea Strawberry Farm. We didn’t get to enjoy the strawberry related food this time because of the crowd but we managed to have Carrot Cake and a pot of tea at BOH Sungai Palas factory. Mr Husband macam biasa order carrot cake mcm bela arnab 100 ekor. Pastu penat nak makan. When I asked why did he have to order that much (2 slice kontot je pun) , he said a blogger reviewed it to be super delicious. OK. Fine.

The highlight of this trip was probably our hotel stay at Bedrock Hotel ( a review coming soon). It was a hotel I chose and splurged on because I do not want to risk Mr Husband booking hotel yg tah apa2. It was one of the best nights I had as I get to soak myself in an Epsom Salt bath with the Goblin OST playing in the background whilst the kids and husband is asleep. BLiss.

Travelling with kids requires proper planning in terms of the timing to enter the parks and interesting sites. Refreshments in the car. I was glad I brought mini plastic bags to keep Ninie’s diapers in the car. I wish I brought sugar cubes to further add taste to my tea and complimentary coffee in the hotel room. Mr Husband kinda used up all of it. Hmph. But it’s OK.. ni sume experience.
